What Muscle Car has the best sound?

Still blown away by Bullit last week, can anything compare?

[touge]

I'm pretty sure they dubbed the noise the mustang made with a GT40.

But anything with a hemi sounds amazing, not really a muscle car but close:

I'm not so sure about that.
I was at Le Mans Classic in 2006 40 year celebrations of GT40 winning and I can't say any of the originals or the Replicas sounded anything like that Bullit sounded.

Film cars are allways going sound the best,what with image as well.Vanishing point got to be up there(first time round).

Yes because they put the sound in afterwards & they wont use the original engine sound. Bullit is a good example of this.

GT40 or a 7litre Cobra

Plymouth Superbird, The Daddy of all muscle cars

[iln71]

well actually i think a mustang mach 1 is truly awesome, and the superbird comes nowhere near

Check out Clarkson's last video but one and the Ford GTX1, an experimental 700 odd HP Ford GT, its awesome

[997ted]

A 289 Falcon, a 427 Galaxie and a 289 mustang all at the first corner at Goodwood... one of the greatest noises ever.

Also the old man has a record (yes real vinyl) of a GT race going round Sebring in the 60s. Shame you can't see the cars but there is some great noise! i would imagine mustangs and falcons and the odd 'cuda out there..

[leginigel]

Just come back from race retro the Aston Martin on the rally stage will take some beating!

[hilly10]

I think the Mustang 500 in the opening scene I am Legend sounds pretty special. Must have played that scene 100 times Oh what a noise

[Fleckers]

As long as its a V8
As long as the pipes are free flowing
As long as its mine

that or the sound of my de cat scooby on full chat flames and all

[VPower]

Have you heard the DBR9 at LE Mans?

Music to drift to a drunken sleep too!

Sorry Bob, but you're wrong there! The soundtrack to the Bullett mustang was that of the real thing. IIRC Ford sold a very special twin walled silencer exhaust system which was an optional extra for the hot 'stangs,and it was Very loud (think they only made it for a short time)
The director wanted to get the film as realistic as possible,so most of it was recorded actually on site,or on the move.
On another slightly off-topic subject, the film 'Battle of britain' is the same. Actual recordings were made in-cockpit during the filming to get as realistic as possible soundtrack of what HAS to be the greatest engine of them all- the RR Merlin!?

Oh and for my vote- Ford GT40 ....Or TVR Wedge:0)
